實踐大學高雄校區通識教育課程之規劃研究

Study on planning for liberal education courses of Kaohsiung campus of the Shih-Chien University

通識教育已於臺灣大專院校施行多年，卻始終面臨相當多的困難與挑戰，如通識教育在大學教育中的定位模糊不清、通識科目與專業科目之間的競爭排擠、學生對於通識課程的輕忽，將通識課程視為營養學分，以及通識教育高懸的理想常和實際教學中產生落差，致使授課教師易產生挫折感，學生亦學習動機與成就過低等情況。上述問題在通識教育學界不斷的論辯、教育部各項計畫的討論以及通識教育評鑑的推動中開始有一嶄新的發展，從課程改革、境教的發展到學生自主學習的推動，讓臺灣通識教育有新的可能性。本文主要針對實踐大學高雄校區103學年度到 104學年度的課程變革及學生學習反應為研究主體，討論其在整體通識教育發展趨勢中所進行的變革及遇到的困難，並思索可解決之道以為改進。
